- Support a global supply chain remit across multiple regions.
- Influence senior stakeholders to drive performance and decision‐making.
- Drive continuous improvement across supply chain finance, processes and reporting.
Qualifications
- Experience within FMCG, manufacturing or pharmaceutical environments; background in a large, complex organisation, ideally with international exposure.
- Proven ability to operate in an interim or project based capacity, or demonstrable experience delivering across multiple change initiatives.
- Strong capability in financial modelling, forecasting and scenario analysis.
- Experience of challenging stakeholders and influencing outcomes, with a solutions‐focused mindset.
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA).
Skills & Attributes

- Confident in providing constructive challenge at senior level.
- Commercially aware, with the ability to translate data into insight and action.

- Experience with SAP (or equivalent ERP systems).
- Advanced Excel skills, particularly in modelling and analysis.
